She said: "I realise the issues around the Parole Board decision are a matter for the Ministry of Justice.

"But can she say whether she has had any contact with the police about whether they are able to further pursue the cases of 19 women who came forward after the conviction took place and to see whether they can be prosecuted to see whether justice can be done and women kept safe?"

Ms Rudd said: "I do share her views on this matter and I am sure she will have seen the Justice Minister's comments today about making sure that there is more transparency in the Parole Board.

"I am aware of certain victims who are talking about possible judicial reviews and talking to the police.

Worboys, a former stripper and adult film star, was found guilty of 19 charges of drugging and sexually assaulting 12 women passengers, in one case raping a woman.

He was jailed indefinitely in 2009, with a minimum term of eight years.
